Did work, thanks

Enfold 5.0 same issue, but diffrent file.

I did copy the hole folder structure and the file, but the file is not beeing load in the child theme folder.

Please fix as this is not only strange but stupid.

I did disable:

if(1==1 OR ($show_meta && !empty($excerpt)))

as: $show_meta, where is that defined? excerpt is empty by all my posts. 3 have date shown, 8 not. Everything with the same setup. I can clone posts, some have, some not of them…

I did an new Visual Element.

add following codes in your child theme:

functions.php

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
	$template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
	array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');
	return $paths;
}

ad shortcodes/slideshow_layerslider.php in your childtheme:

<?php
/**
 * Advanced Layerslider
 * 
 * Display a Layerslider Slideshow
 * @modified 4.2.1, 4.2.7
 * @modified_by Günter

if( ! Avia_Config_LayerSlider()->is_active() )

Then you will have a Modified Layerslider. You can use this code in any playcement, like 2/3 or 1/3 rows. And its working too. But this is also a very unnice solution to update it everywhere as the main slider shortcode not working anymore. Somewhere is a “if used load the js for the slider” and it doesn’t recognise the shortcode as a slider.
I cant find that stuff yet.

Would be awesome if Kiersi would beta test such stuff and not releasing such a big update, without any good support. Is somebody alive in this board except customer complaining?

PS: I don’t know if it is working with all LAyout possibilities. PErhaps the avia_new_section function dioes the closing of all section which needts to be removed, instead of my replace… But your feedback will show me if its working everywhere or not.

Same issue here.

On some pages not even the normal “advanced Layerslider” from Visual Element is working.
Shortcode is not working at all since last 2 updates. Very frustrating. a lot of people complaining.

When can we hope on a fix?
